He and Kong Jie suffered a heavy blow from Okamura Neiji at the same time. Even though Okamura Neiji was the commander of the Japanese North China Front, Li Yunlong felt very unconvinced.
He punched the map on the table fiercely and said fiercely: "Since the troops left behind in the base area can't break the situation, then it's up to me..."
"Chief of Staff, send out all the scouts we have immediately. I want to know every move of all the Japanese and puppet troops in the surrounding areas."
"No matter how powerful Okamura Neji is, there is only one person..."
"There are only so many troops in hand."
"I have an entire brigade of troops in my hands. The key is that Neji Okamura doesn't know where we are hiding, when we plan to take action, and where we plan to attack."
"The enemy is in the light, and I am in the dark."
"No matter how cunning Okamura Neji is, he can't figure out my thoughts..."
"As long as you seize the opportunity and choose the target to attack, you will definitely be able to catch him off guard."
…………
The deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army's former enemy headquarters is in a very good mood today.
Li Yunlong led the independent brigade to successfully break through the iron wall encirclement created by Okamura Ningji, and lurked in the heart of the Japanese army, waiting for a fighter opportunity.
Even if no fighter planes appear, the existence of the independent brigade will pose a huge threat to Okamura Neiji, making him dare not rush to send troops to reinforce the Sixth Army Division in the Wing, or deploy troops from the front to reinforce the rear area.
Without reinforcements, the Eighth Route Army operating in other enemy theaters can continue to counterattack the Japs, consuming their forces, expanding their base areas, and compressing the Japanese army's living space...
"chief of staff……"
The deputy commander looked at the map and expected orders.
"The Sixth Army Division of Wing Center broke through the iron wall of the Japanese army with huge sacrifices, which made Neji Okamura feel helpless and could not rush to send troops to reinforce the rear area. This created an excellent opportunity for other base areas to counterattack the Japanese and puppet troops."
"This opportunity cannot be missed..."
"Let them seize the time to launch a counterattack, kill more Japanese, and don't waste the good intentions of the troops in the wing."
"The harder they fight in the enemy's war zone, the more heartbroken Neji Okamura will be, and the more hectic he will be in commanding operations, and the pressure faced by the Eighth Route Army in the Wing will be much less."
"While the Eighth Route Army in the Yizhong creates counterattack opportunities for them, they can also reduce the defensive pressure on the Sixth Army Division in the Yizhong by strengthening their offensive."
"This is a good thing that complements each other. Neither one of them can survive..."
"Let them seize the opportunity!"
…………
The Divisional Headquarters of the Sixth Army in Yizhong suffered a heavy loss due to the attack on the Japanese garrison last night. The main attacking troops were directly eaten by two battalions of the Japanese troops, resulting in the remaining troops in the base area having to start a new round of training.
"Commander..." the chief of staff walked quickly to Kong Jie and reported...
"The soldiers of the only brigade that were lost have all been replaced with new recruits and are undergoing training."
"The five and six groups are slightly better..."
"They don't suffer casualties, and it only takes five or six days to regain their combat effectiveness."
"The fourth regiment suffered relatively heavy casualties, and it will take at least a month to regain its combat effectiveness..."
An expression of regret immediately appeared on Kong Jie's face: "I was still too careless..."
"If we were a little more cautious when attacking the Japanese garrison, we would not rush in alone when taking down the Japanese's first line of defense, but wait until the artillery and heavy machine guns were all in place before launching the attack."
"Even if the Japanese set up an ambush on the second line of defense and launch a sudden counterattack, our artillery and heavy machine guns can bring back the attacking troops as soon as possible."
"Instead of watching them being chased and killed by the Japanese latent troops, and almost annihilating the entire army..."
Huang Yu comforted him with a serious look on his face: "Commander..."
"Victory or defeat is standard issue……"
"If everyone regrets and becomes worried after winning a battle, then no one will dare to fight in the future!"
Kong Jie knew that Huang Yu wanted to pull him back from the shadow of defeat and regain his fighting spirit.
He immediately continued what he said: "Don't worry, Xiao Huang..."
"Until the iron wall of Okamura Neji's siege is completely shattered, this little setback cannot defeat me, Kong Jie..."
"Last night we killed another three to four thousand little devils in a battle..."
"The already stretched troops on the iron wall encirclement front line will definitely become even more scarce."
"My idea is to keep up the good work and seize this rare opportunity to win another battle..."
"In order to concentrate superior forces to win more battles and avoid unnecessary losses, the new recruits who have just replenished the team must not go to the battlefield immediately..."
"I want to allocate two battalions from each of the 5th and 6th regiments, and two battalions from each of the three garrison regiments, plus the troops directly under the military division, to form four regiments for another battle."
"Whether it's a strong attack on the Japanese garrison or a besiege for reinforcements, as long as it can consume a large number of Japanese troops on the front line."
"Xiao Huang, what do you think?"
Huang Yu nodded and replied: "There is an independent brigade outside the iron wall, watching every move of the little devil."
"Neji Okamura has absolutely no chance to mobilize troops from outside to reinforce the front line."
"If they want to make up for the loopholes on the front line, they can only tear down the eastern wall to repair the western wall, but their total military strength is still decreasing."
"So now is still a good opportunity for us to severely damage the Japanese troops on the front line."
"I agree to another fight..."
"But we still need to think carefully about how to fight."
"Neiji Okamura is too sophisticated and will definitely not make mistakes twice in a row on the same issue."
"Perhaps this old devil has prepared some conspiracy for us on the front line, waiting for us to exploit it."
Just as Kong Jie was about to nod to answer, he saw the operator trotting towards them in a hurry, with a very nervous expression.
"The commander...the deputy chief of staff...the commander of the assault company has an urgent message...the Japanese troops on the front line suddenly launched a new round of attack on us early this morning..."
"This time their assault distance increased directly from ten kilometers to twenty kilometers..."
"The Japanese garrison surrounding us has also been reduced from eight to six..."
"Each station has a reinforced regiment of little devils, equipped with at least fifty mountain guns and heavy artillery."
"A large number of mortars, heavy machine guns, and anti-tank artillery have also been strengthened..."
After hearing this, Huang Yu's expression changed. He stared at the operator and asked, "Has the distance between the Japanese stations changed..."
"Two kilometers more..." the operator replied.
Huang Yu's face became more solemn. He stared at the map for a minute before raising his head, shaking his head at Kong Jie and smiling bitterly: "Commander..."
"This old devil Okamura Neji is really powerful..."
"With this move of the troops, the problem of the shortage of troops on the front line has been solved... and even a lot more heavy weapons have been provided to strengthen the remaining six regiments on the front line..."
"Our plan to fight another battle on the front line seems to be in vain..."
Kong Jie also came to his senses and replied with a stern face: "Kong Jie's move is indeed very high. It's not an exaggeration to describe it as killing two birds with one stone."
"Through the attack, reduce the length of the blockade and reduce the number of garrison troops...The problem of the shortage of troops on the front line will naturally be solved, and we will have no fighter planes. It's a good plan."
